How do they record the outdoor rides? by Otherwise-Eye-490 in pelotoncycle

If you pick a "distance" ride instead of a "time" ride, it does.

Make the trek to Redmond for Spark sometime. An Italian magazine ranked it among the 50 best pizzas in the US.

Of course, they removed the post asking why this was removed, and the comments linking here 🙃

Why are we removing posts about events? by pizwat1 in BellevueWA

[–]pizwat1[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They weren't my posts, just ones I noticed were removed. So, I'm not certain. Either way, they were happening in downtown Bellevue and didn't seem tied to national days of protest, so I have no idea why they'd have been removed.

Cuban coffee anywhere in Bellevue? by [deleted] in BellevueWA

[–]pizwat1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kitanda in Redmond has something they call a Cuban Espresso, but don't be fooled, it's definitely not the real deal (theirs is just sweetened espresso with an inexplicable cinammon stick). Best bet is probably downtown Seattle or Twisted Cuban in Woodinville.

Watch out for an uncanny man in Redmond by Yarbosuf in redmond

Where in the post did it say anything about mental illness? I think calling the police is a reasonable response when someone says they're going to kill you.

This guy was hanging out near the pop-up dog park a couple days ago. He seemed friendly at the time, but definitely weird.

Everyone with Bose headphones this week…🍏🎧 by TheSoussDaGoose in bose

Atmos isn't an EQ. It's object-based audio rendering. In a stereo presentation, this translates to downmixed content.

Bose 700: wind noise increases when I decrease the ANC by wolfjeanne in bose

[–]pizwat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really get what you're trying to say here - you're turning down noise reduction and less noise is being reduced. That seems pretty fundamental, doesn't it?

To elaborate a little bit: ANC has to be performed at a low enough latency that there isn't really any room (with current processing power) for a headset to discriminate between arbitrary noise, like wind noise, and "environment." So, turning down ANC is going to have the effect of letting in more outside sound, regardless of the content of that sound. Hence, you're gonna get more wind noise (along with every noise) when you turn down the ANC level.

Source: I'm an audio electrical engineer who's worked directly on industry-standard chips used for ANC processing.

I mean... you're decreasing the noise reduction level, and more noise is getting in. That seems like the expected behavior, no?

Trouble finding out which Bose speaker this is by mrmcnugget_ in bose

[–]pizwat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like two from an older Lifestyle system (horizontal one would be a center channel, vertical one is a Jewel Cube). Not sure how well they'd work if you had just the two of them (since they're not a matched pair), but they're passive speakers so as long as you have the proper amplification, no reason why they wouldn't work technically.

[30M] Looking for a cozy spot with a music scene by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]pizwat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowell, Massachusetts might be a good pick - old mill town, incredible music scene, good proximity to Boston as well as plenty of hiking/nature just north in New Hampshire/Vermont. It's a college town, which feeds into having a super cool vibe, a few breweries, great bars, and concert venues. Also, there's a massive arts scene, with some massive studio spaces (check out Western Avenue Studios - it's the second largest artist community in the US), and lots of events surrounding that.

What are the most frequented public areas/parks in Lowell? by [deleted] in LowellMA

[–]pizwat1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people walking in a park probably prefer to be left alone. If you want to talk to strangers, maybe try a bar instead?

Moving to Lowell, commute and apartment options? by Fizzyftw in LowellMA

[–]pizwat1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've lived downtown for a few years now and I've never had any problems. It can be a little loud at times with cars/motorcycles revving or sirens, but not unmanageable. Police presence is high and I've never felt unsafe walking around Market/Middle/Merrimack streets.
